I dont think this should be moved since Vipers come with Mobil 1 as factory fill.

Heres a link to a mercedes forum about this info

And another link on the VW forums info

Heres a quick snippet...
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>However, it appears (probably as a result of Exxon's merger) that the Mobil 1 formula may be changing this year when they update it to the new SL rating, and it may already be on your shelf this week. Disappointingly, it looks like it has been reformulated and Mobil may have caved into the Group III profit pressure, although this isn't confirmed yet. The pourpoint is now 15 degrees higher within the 5W-30 viscosity, which suggests the change in basestock.

Dan....new Mobil 1 SuperSyn out now and you see it alongside the Tri-Synthetic that we've been using for a long time. I think it will simply replace it in time. You can read all about it, etc. on mobil1.com
pete the ex glass guy etc.
